foreign policy wise iraq poses some challenges. particularly now because of syria because maliki has become and emerged essentially as a supporter of bashar al-assad because he fear it is consequences of a sunni success in syria and what it might mean for his own domain and his own rule in iraq. so it's become a very serious foreign policy challenge and he, in fact, has been cooperating with iran which has been flying military supplies across iraq to damascus. >> woodruff: what do you see as the long lasting effects on u.s. foreign policy. >> i think these large costly conventional force operations we saw in iraq, we had in afghanistan has led many to recoil here in washington, particularly at senior levels of the obama administration to some degree i think it's propelled the white house towards a greater reliance on drones, intelligence operations, on the use of small special forces teams to target terrorist cells around the world as opposed to trying to do more traditional nation building and remaking of society. perform. >> wood

there's been no fast changes, this doesn't speak to any weaknesses in american foreign policy, it speaks to the difficulty of the country and speaks to a place where we didn't have a lot of good options. so i think there's something reassuring about the fact that two presidents from, you know, very different political persuasions basically adhered to an identical foreign policy and relied on the same unreliable partner in karzai. that could have been secretary rice, secretary clinton, it was secretary kerry in this case. but the goals have remained american goals and that was to make this place better than the evil horrible place it was when 9/11 was planned. it's fine to say 12-year war and it's terrible never should have been there, but i'm not sure we had any good choices. and affirmed by the fact that two presidents of different political persuasions did the exact same thing. >> if afghanistan were sandwiched in between brazil and argentina, nobody would care. it's the region that finds itself in. the fact that the neighbors are iran and pakistan is why. >> and the attacks of 9/11 we
